RE: Wetland review of property located north of Allyn along North Bay Road,Mason
County Parcels#122171200010�
Dear Mr.Iuliano:
This letter report discusses the wetland review completed at outr crquest on a i acre
project site located north of the town of Allyn hlong the h�side of North Bay,in Mason
County,Washington. The field review was completed during one site visit,in September
of 2002.
The purpose of this wetland review was to determine if any wetlands are present on or
within 150 feet of the project site which would be regulated by the Mason County Critical
Areas Ordinance. This review%vas requested in conjunction with the possible future
development of the project site into a single family residence. Mason County kill require
Welland review ol'this.site in.conjunction with the development rerie v process.
Wetland determinations were made using observable vegetation,hydrolo& and soils in
accordance with the Corps of Engineers 1987 Weiland Delineation Manual,and the 1997
Washingion Siale lVellandr Delineation Manual
The project site is located in Section 17.To%%mship 22 Forth,Range I Alest. W.M. The
project area is made tip of two parcels,Mason Count•parcel 9122171200010 and parcel
#1 22 1 71 2000.13..The project site is an irregularly shaped area which--abuts North Bad'
Road along the.western boundary. North Bay.an aim of Puget Sound.is located to the
-east. Undeveloped properties border the projecf area on both the tioril and south. There
are currently no structures located on the-parcel, 13te.proiect site totals approxiniaielv.1 -

acre in size. General land use in the vicinity of the project site is mostly undeveloped
land with scattered single family residential development. Topography of the site is
mostly flat across the entire parcel,but slopes downward gently toward the north and elst.
Soils on the project site are mapped in the Soil Conservation Service(SCS)Soil try
of Mason County Area.VN'eshitW n as Norma sandy loam,0-3%slopes,and Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam,5-15%slopes. The Norma series is mapped across the eastern half
of the site,and Alderwood series is mapped across the western half. The Norma series is
described as poorly drained,very dark soils that developed from coarse sandy drift under
the influence of excessive moisture. In a typical profile,the surface layer,from 4-12
inches,is a 10YR 3/2 fine sandy loam. Below this layer is the subsoil,which is a massive
frable,slightly compact 1 OYR 3/3 loamy sand with 7.5YR 4/6 mottles. The substratum,
consisting of compact,light gray gravelly sandy drift,is at depths of 24-32 inches. The
Alderwood soil is considered well drained,and developed from mixed gravelly glacial till
dominated by acid igneous rock. In a typical profile,the surface layer is a friable 1 OYR
4/3 gravelly sandy loam that is 8-13 inches thick. The subsoil,to 18-24 inches,is 10YR
5/3 gravelly sandy loam. Cemented till occurs below the subsoil,and is at a depth of 24-
32 inches. Of these two soil series,the Norma soil is classified as a hydric soil by the
Natural Resources Conservation Service(MRCS).
Soils across the project site are mostly consistent with the Norma series description. No
soils were observed on the project site which were consistent with the Alderwood series
description. A typical profile across much of the site is a IOYR 2/1 sandy loam with
organic lenses approximately 8 inches thick Between 8 and 18 inches soils are l OYR 3/2
sandy loam.Redoximorphic features,including common distinct 7.5YR 4/6 mottles,as
well as oxidized rhizospheres were observed within 12 inches of the soil surface. This
general profile was observed across most of the site,with the exception being the north
central portion of the property. Soils observed in this area were mainly 10YR 3/3 sandy
loam to a depth of 8 inches. The"B"horizon,from 8-20 inches,was 10YR 3/3 sandy
loam, with faint mottling below 14 inches.
Vegetation across much of the site is dominated by tree and shrub vegetation,although
part of the central portion of the site has been cleared,and is dominated by herbaceous
species. Species observed across most of the site include:red alder,salmonbeny,red
elderberry,field horsetail,creeping buttercup,small fruited bulrush,and water parsley.
Most of these species are indicative of moist or wet soil conditions. Along the eastern
end of the site,vegetation is influenced by North Bay,and species observed are indicative
of high salt marsh conditions. Species observed along the eastern vegetated edge of the
site include:common aster,pickleweed,silverveed,and saltgrass. The extreme eastern
portion of the site is unvegetated tidelands Which are part of forth Bay.
Hydrology or indicators of hydrology within 12 inches of the soil surface was observed
across much of the project site. Across the southwestern portion of the site,ground%vater
seepage,and drainage from offsite to the west(west of North Bay Road)supports
hydrology observed. Along the northern boundary of the project area.a small stream

flaws into North Bay. The eastern`portion of the site is high salt marsh and tideflats
associated with the Bay. Indicators of saturation or inundation within 12 inches of the
soil surface was observed in all of thew areas. Other indicators of hydrology were
observed which included:water stained leaves,drainage patterns,and oxidized root zaW5
or mottling in the upper portion of the soil profile. Hydrology on the site appears to be
the result of groundwater seepage,offsite drainage,and tidal influences from North Bar.
The north central portion of the site was the only area observed which did not display
indicators of seasonal hydrology. This area appears to be moderately well drained,and
indicators of hydrology were not observed within 12 inches of the soil surface.
As a result of site evaluation,there appears to be a single wetland area on the property
that would be regulated by Mason County. This area dominates most of the project site,
and extends both;north and south of the site. This wetland would likely have a dual
classification,with the eastern portion of the property(high salt marsh)classified as a
Category I wetland using the Department of Ecology Wetlands Rating System,and
Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance. Category I wetlands in Mason County require a
125 foot no disturbance buffer from the edge of the wetland. The forested portion of the
wetland(west of the salt marsh)would be classified as a Category 11 w-etland using the
Department of Ecology Wetlands Rating System,and Mason County Critical Areas
Ordinance. Category II wetlands in Mason County require an 85 foot no disturbance
buffer from the edge of the wetland. Based on field observations(some of the property
boundaries were not clearly defined)I estimate the,wetland and buffer to encumber nearly
the entire site.
To utilize the property,the county will require the applicant to complete wetland review.
This could be completed by delineating(marking)the wetland boundary,and determining
the extent of wetlands and wetland buffers on the property. Following the delineation and
mapping,a wetland analysis report would need to be submitted to Mason County for
review. This process would work to define a building and development"footprint"which
could be used on the property. Based on the field evaluation,it appears that a building
site may be developed which does not impact the wetland,or only impacts a small portion
of the wetland. However,wetland buffer impacts will likely be unavoidable.
In cases where a wetland wid/or wetland buffer encumber most or all of a site,the
regulating agency cannot deny the property owner"reasonable use"of the property. In
this situation,a variance from Mason County would likely be needed to develop a single
family residence on the site. The variance process xvould likely require a public hearing,
and mitigation for impacts to the greatest extent possible. Mitigation in this case could
include the establishment of native plantings within the wetland or wetland buffer,or
some other form of restoration work. In addition to the Mason Count}variance process.
a Army Corps of Engineers permit may be required if any wetlands are proposed to be
filled on the site. This could be determined following delineation of the site,and a
building site has been proposed.

Should you wish to propose development on the site,it may be helpful to request a site
visit with Mason County planning staff during the preliminary planning process to
determine the proper procedure for resolving the issues on the site. Should you have my
questions,please feel free to call me at(360)789-3607.
